TRAMWAY MARGINS.
In the Report before referred to, I also
drew attention to the necessity of Paving the
Tramway Margins in the main roads of this Parish
in which report I stated as follows:—
Paving
Tramway
Margins.
"Tramway Margins.
"I next desire to draw your attention to the
"desirability of Paving the margins between the
"tramways and the footway kerbs, more especially in
"the narrow portions of the Main thoroughfares of
"this Parish, in which the macadam spaces or strip
"on either side of the tram road do not exceed 8 to
"feet in width, which renders it very difficult and
"costly to preserve the proper level of the macadams
"in connection with the pitched margins, next to and
"outside the tramway rails, and which cause accident
"and inconvenience to the vehicular traffic; the come
"stant repairs to these strips of road is the fruitful
"cause of a dirty condition of the thoroughfares.
